2023 ARCTIC FAT FEVER - CANCELLED

Rain in February is a real bummer!

As they say, you can't control the weather! Due to the current weather conditions and impact they have had on Lake Minnetonka regretfully; we must cancel the event.

Refunds will be available until March 3, 2023. However, you may choose to donate your entry fee to the Minnetonka High School mountain bike team who would have provided volunteer support for the event.

In order to receive a refund, please have your order number handy and contact our Brain Trust customer service team via chat, phone (877-885-2453), or email help@eriksbikeshop.com.
